Shark Behavior and Conservation
|
There is no better place to study and dispel myths about sharks than the Shark Reef Marine Reserve (SRMR) on the spectacular shores of Fiji. Observe them up close in a controlled setting with professional guides. Imagine swimming through an astounding abundance of marine life to discover several species of sharks on one dive! Learn about shark biology, behavior, history and future prospects. Although they have thrived on earth for millions of years, pre-dating dinosaurs, sharks are now in danger of extinction, killed for their fins, for medicinal purposes or through destruction of their habitats. Collect data through daily shark dives for ongoing research and conservation efforts. Visit several Fijian villages, where you are welcomed by the chief and a formal kava ceremony. Hear ancient stories of the Shark God that protects the islanders from harm. This program leaves you with a love and respect for the Fijian people and islands, as well as the sharks you’ve come to study. Earn 3 credits in marine science through this experiential course.

Study Abroad in Fiji: Adventures in Culture, Health and Environment
|
June 22 to June 29, 2010 (3 credits)Fiji is a beautiful and fascinating island country in the central South Pacific with a diverse population, unique ecologies and wonderfully rich cultural traditions. By focusing on the intersection of culture, health and environment, the plan for this eight-day program is to begin with an exploration of history and politics in the capital city of Suva. We then head down the beautiful southern coastline where we will meet local villagers and learn about how Fijians are balancing concerns of tradition and demands of modern life. We will then travel by boat and/or sail to Fiji's beautiful offshore islands in the Yasawa chain, where we can learn first-hand about how the pressures of development and climate change are shaping off-shore life in this very special part of the world. We spend a fair part of our time in research, service and experiential activities related to developing sustainable health and environmental solutions in indigenous Fijian off-shore island, coastal and highland communities. During our time in Fiji there will also be opportunities for such other activities as hiking, bird watching, snorkeling and kayaking, and also to spend time in Fijian villages and participate in traditional Fijian celebrations with food and dancing.
